Kismat Stores

You can find Kismat Stores on Mission Road, right across from Premalbhai Hall in the Bhadra area of Ahmedabad. It is an old part of the city, and our shop has been here through a lot of changes. We carry a wide variety of items that people need for their homes. It’s a mix of household goods, some stationery, and basic toiletries. The area gets very crowded, especially when there is an event at the hall across the street. We’ve gotten used to the noise and the constant flow of people passing by. The shop is a bit small, so things are tucked into every corner. It might look a bit messy to an outsider, but we know exactly where every single item is kept on the racks. We open early and usually close quite late in the evening. Working here in Bhadra means you meet all kinds of people every day. We don't have any fancy signs or bright lights. It’s just a plain store with a simple counter. We write our bills by hand and keep a close eye on the stock we have left. Sometimes we run out of things faster than expected because of the heavy foot traffic. We just try to stay useful to whoever walks in. It’s a busy life, but it keeps us going. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we are usually too busy to get around to it. That’s just how it is for us here on Mission Road.
